My big fat cat

I have always liked cats, since I had four years, and i always was asking my parents for a cat, but they did not want one because my dad had bad experiences with cats, and my mom...she just don't care about it.
When was my twelfth birthday, I tried one more time asking for a cat again, and they finally say yes! I was so happy, because they had searched in different places kitties to foster, and find a veterinary that had some rescued cats, like mine.
My little kitty when was skinny


We adopted her when i was twelve years old and she was two months old.
Her name is Candy, like the character from the TV show "Club de la Comedia", "Guatona Candy" because when she was eating, her belly get more big than it was. Now, she make honor to her name, because she is very very fat.

We love her because she's weird, because sometimes she is relaxed or sleeping, and she start to run and slide in the rug suddenly (she loves it).



My fat cat some weeks ago with my dad
But very intelligent, because she knows that if she want some fresh water, she have to go to the bathroom, climb the washbasin and meow. When we go to the kitchen, she follow us and climb the countertop and meow asking for some treat. In her case, dried meat (charqui)

I think that if we never adopted her, she could been sacrificed or something like that, because people don't like cats too much. I think we never had seen a cat so intelligent and special as she.

The only, and the best concert of my life

Hi!
I will talk about the best of the concert I went, and it's my first and only concert, to see my favourite music band (of this time) ONE OK ROCK.

This concert was in 2017, October 3rd, when I was in the last year of the school. It was in the "Coliseo" theatre, in Santiago. This theatre is closer than La Moneda, literally in front of this.
The band was my favourite band in this year, before I listened them new music, that I don't really like the style for them.


ONE OK ROCK is a Japanese rock band (J-rock) formed in 2005, and are four integrants, all Japanese. The majority of their music is in english and japanese at the same time, like one verse in english, and other in japanese. I known this group when I was 12 years old, I don't remember if it was in 2012 or 2013, but a friend show me one of their songs and I never stopped listen them.


I remember that I went with my boyfriend, who known the group because I show him when we was just friends, and the atmosphere was really energetic and funny because the music that they'd played was the best of "their classics" if you understand what I mean. I really enjoyed in this concert because saw them playing their own music in front of me was so exciting. We meet people in the queue up who we never see them again, staying for 4 hours.

A country i'd like to visit

Hi!
Some days i'm wondering, "if i had a lot of money, what is the first thing that i would do?" And after think a lot of that, i decided to visit any country. I have interest in four countries: Japan, Italy, Russia and Germany, but the first that i'd like to visit is Japan.

Why Japan? So many people say that i'm an otaku because of this, but i did not watch any anime since 2014, and I don't know any recent anime.
I would like to visit Japan because i want to learn more of their culture, because they have the reputation of be really disciplined and respectful with all. But, i just want to visit Japan for a few days, like one or two weeks. I don't want to live in, or study or something in Japan, because i don't know how it works, and how i will talk with japanese people because almost nothing speak english.

Ramen


Also i would like to try their food, and compare how much different is their original food than the japanese food that people make here, in Chile. That is because i have tried japanese dishes, like ramen (the typical noodle soup) , sushi, takoyaki (dough ball filled with octopus), and i want to know if they make them similar or the taste is totally different that i thought. I know by internet that their food is based in fish and vegetables, and some pork.
Takoyaki





Other reason of why i want to visit Japan is because the landscapes of the different Japan's cities, like Kyoto and its more than 1000 temples, or Osaka that is called the gastronomic center of Japan by them. Last, Tokyo. If one day i go to Japan, i really would like to visit all this cities, and taste their local dishes.

¿My experience writing blogs?

Hi everyone! this was my first blog that i've written, and was too funny to search somethings of my life with all of you.
I never thought that one day i would share things that happen in my life with my classmates, people that hardly ever thalk with me.

But well, this was funny and interesting read your posts too.

I feel that my skills in english are better than before, because i discovered words that i didn't know their meaning, or how to say something. Also this experience helped me to know you better.
If we keep doing this kind of blog, i would others themes for our blogs, like our worst nightmares or greates idols in any subject.

I think that some of my blogs was expose my personal life a bit, because i never talked about my frustrated dreams before, or show any photo of me, because i hate take me pictures, but well, i didn't worried of that because you know me, all you are my classmates so...it doesn't metter too much for me.

Of all of my blogs, my favourite was when i talked about my favourite picture, because this blog was about my cat, and i love her so much. I love to see photos of my cat, she's like my baby because is my first pet that i have. I love this picture and when i wrote this blog, it makes me smile for like...two hours.

Well, i wish the best of lucks to all of you in your exams and "PRE" if you have to take one. See you on Thursday and Friday!

The windows of our souls.

Hi! A few days ago i heard at someone say that our eyes are the windows of our souls, then i start to think about this. I never proceeded how amazing and important are our eyes, until now.

Why all this? Well, just think about blinded people, that they cannot see what they have in front of them, they cannot see the colour of all. People like us, that have the possibility of seeing our around, can watch TV, read books or comics, can see what are drawing, with who are talking, how the food that they're eating looks, and so many amazing things.

Our eyes give us the possibility of perceive the light by the reflection of this on the surfaces, transforming the light in electrical signals (nerve impulses) that go from the retina to the brain. Eyes are localized in the head, obviously in our faces over the nose and under our eyebrows. Human eyes have 2,5 cm of diameter approximately.

The retina have a terminal structures, two type of photoreceptors cells: rod and cone cells, and cone cells help us to see the colours.

Typical illness in their eyes are myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, colour blindness, and others that difficult our capacity of see. Many of this illness are not evitable, like colour blindness that is hereditary, but other like myopia can be reverted wearing special glasses. Others like hyperopia or presbyopia can appear in old age and can be evitable with use of more light at the moment of study or read.

Organic Chemistry Lab

Hi! Today i will talk about my favourite subject, until now.

Well, my favourite subject is the organic chemistry laboratory. It's hard to explain why i like this subject, because some people hate it. I like it because i love chemistry and watch how things happen, things that teachers teach us in organic chemistry (the theory subject) and we can do it by ourselves.

We have laboratory once a week, and we have to study the laboratory of the day, in the previous day. I mean, if i have the laboratory in Monday, i have to study this laboratory in Sunday.
It's so funny and interesting to me, because we have to do different things like separation of liquid compounds by extraction with a decanting funnel, synthesis of different compounds from another with other properties by different reactions, like acetylation, nucleophilic substitution, electrophilic substitution for aromatic compounds, and others.

And in the end of the class we have to hand in a report of the previous laboratory. We have one week to make the report of this-day laboratory. We are 30 students in my group (or section), with two teacher and three assistants (for the teacher), and at least in my group, teachers and assistants are very friendly and very good to help us in our doubts, and this is too important because if you don't understand something of the laboratory and the teacher don't know how to explain you, you can make a mess.

In this class we start with a little theoric introduction of what reaction we will make, how it happens and what is happening in what moment of the laboratory, but after is only practice. As we have to study previously at the day of the laboratory, we have to know what to do in all laboratory. We have to be carefully too, because if you break something, the teacher will reduce your mark.

(a) A Forgotten Genius

Hi guys!I've always asked myself "what would happen if i had practiced my studying skills more years before?", because when i was child, i was very intelligent (according to people who knew me at this age) but my parents stop to stimulate my brain because they say that i was going to get bored in the school. Could i've been as intelligent as an important scientist? I don't know, but since i discovery the name of Nikola Tesla, i want his brain, because he was a really brilliant mind.

Tesla posing like a flirty boy

Who was Nikola Tesla? He was an american physicist, born in Smiljan, now in Croatia (July 10th of 1856), and died in New York, US (January 7th of 1943). After work in many electrical industries on Paris and Budapest, he started to work for Thomas Edison, who was a supporter of electrical current. 

Then, after a discussion with him, Tesla start to work with George Westinghouse in the alternating current delivery, and other things about the electricity in general, making artifacts that helped the world to use the alternating current to it benefit. 

This artifacts were his most important inventions. But, his most famous invention was the "Tesla Coil", that consist in a coil that can shoot rays, generate electron winds and send current to the human body, from a capacitor.

Another of his inventions, "increase transmitter"



I admire him a lot because, although people considered him a stupid crazy, he kept doing all this inventions for all. Although people steal some of his inventions, he kept doing his investigations, and this is love for the science.
